Abstract
AbstractBringing together discussions of voice and second-order choices, the chapter addresses the complexity of financial solutions for women’s disempowerment and how radio as a tool can represent the voices of impoverished and/or marginalised communities. Drawing on broadcasts by a radio studio in each of Niger and Burkina Faso and listener feedback, it discusses how listeners, women and men alike, perceive the financial needs of women. It examines how guests use radio to call out both to those in authority to make changes and to women to actively seek solutions. The chapter finds that whilst audiences are anxious to find ways to obtain money, guests raise a note of caution, warn against quick fixes and advise to look to the long term.
